None but young men could oop with the

men In the Ktudehaker corporation. At
the ainie time, these problems must be
finally decided by the sains manager and
he must be a man of such breadth of
vision, quickness of perception, accuracy
In gauging conditions that he ran make
decisions himself without having to come
to me for advice.
"That he Is only 28 years old Is In his

I'aul Smith came from Indianapolis,
where he was engaged In the automobile
business for several years. He knows the
business from the ground up, for he has
grown up with It, and he Is one of the
most popular men In the entire Industry.
Electric Lighting
For Automobiles
Almoat with the beginning of the auto
mobile Induatry the great need of electric
lights for the cars was recognised. Ex
periments were made, but it was not
until the advent of the new metal fila
ment Incandescent lumps that the plan
was at all feasible. A motor car requires
at least five lamps, aggregating forty-six-candle
power. With the -old carbon fila
ment lump, connumtng 1.1 watts of elec
tricity per candle, the else and weight
of the battery for supplying the necessary
current were prohibitory. Consequently,
gas and oil lamps have been, until rec
ently, the only source of light available.
The new metal filament Incandescent
lamp of email site and low voltage satis
fies to the highest degree the persistent
demand for a safe, reliable' and conven
ient system of motor oar lighting. Those
lamps of low voltage suitable for thla pur
pose consume only one watt ner rnuii.
and bring electrlo lighting within reach
of all motor car owners.
The Ideal lamp outfit for this purpose
consists of two headlights of twenty,
candle power each, two side lamps of
two or four-candle power, consuming forty-six
to fifty watts of energy. The cur
rent U supplied by a 100-amphere-hour
six-volt battery, which will operate all
the lamps continuously for twelve hours
without recharging. Such a buttery
weighs about fifty-five pounds, but since
It can alxo be used for engine Ignition It
will replace an equal weigh now repre
sented by the ordinary Ignition battery,
which weighs twenty-five pounds, and
a gaa tank weighing thirty pounds.
In many of the 1912 model cars the en
ergy for the lamps Is supplied by a small
dynamo. This leaves the owner a choice
of equipping his car with a battery or
with a small dynamo. The former Is ob
viously the cheaper way, but the latter
completely removes the necessity of re
charging the battery.
A battery outfit, including switch,
lamps, wire and cost for wiring the car
amounts to about $M. It is very easily
Installed. The battery la designed to be
carried on the running board.
In the dynamo lighting system the dy
namo and battery are used together, cur
rent for the lights being taken direct
from the dynamo when the car Is run
ning. In some rases. In others the dynamo
being used simply to charge the battury.
The other system, known as the "xtratght
storage" (battery) system, coimUta of a
high capacity battery used alone, It fur
nishing all the current required and hav
ing Its charge renewed from soma out.ilje
source aa at a gaiaga or central statlun.
la the early stages attempts were made
to operate lights from ordinary Ignition
batteries, which waa aoun found to be
Impracticable, as this type of battery
eould not deliver the amount of current
required, resulting In poor lights and
injury to the battery.
The dynamo lighting system has the ad
vantage that it la nut necessary to re
move the battery from the car for r..
charging, and with this type of ma
chine In Its present effective stage the
dynamo lighting system will surely come
into general use, especially on high priced
cars.
The new metal filament auto-lamps
give a fine, clear, penetrating light which
does not flicker or blacken the reflector!

Philadelphia Record.
The automobile as an agent for bring
ing the family closer together In tholr
recreations has been a great success. It
Is the private railroad that awaits tne
convenience of the family. It !a a train
that starts only when they are ready
and carries them direct to the scenes
of the recreations they have chosen.
They can travel at any rped they desire.
Their car may loiter along In the snade
of overarching trees or may stop en
tirely to give them a chance to enjoy
the beauty of the scenery. Where the
country Is barren . or nnlnterestlntr, It
may be passed over swiftly. The family
that own an automobile may travol with
an case that Is luxurious. The delight
end enjoyment afforded them by their
smoothly gliding car Is. so much grestor
thst most other pleasures take a second-
ary place, and It Is the whole family
not one or two that go a-motorlng.
This Is especially true on Sundays and
holidays, when It Is possible for all the
family to be together, lie fore the pos
sibilities of the motor car were fully
reallsod, a holiday meant little Viore
than any other day of the year. It re
lieved the father and the suns from the
routine of their labors, but It Imposed
added duties In the way of preparation
for the women folk. The family lunch

cient lure to bring everybody In the
household together only for an hour or
so. They came strolling home, tired out.
each from his favorite amusement, with
no Joyous memory of a diversion in which
all of them had participated. The holi
day, and particularly the summer holi
day, aeparated them Instead of bring-
lug them together.
This was especially true of families
living In the towns and cities. Picnick
ing In the country of even getting out to
the open spaces of the fields where the
golf links lay or to the cool forest glades
or the banks of streams where there was
a chance tor fishing or canoeing was out
of the question without the Journey In a
railroad train or a trolley. Therefore
each person sought the place for ' his
diversion In accordance with his bodilv
strength or his Inclination. The father
would sit at home and read the papers
or would spend a tiresome afternoon at
his club; the mother would rhooae the
nearest place where persona congenial to
her might be gathered; the - daughter
would make one of a party not all mem
bers of which might be agreeable; the
son would go away by b'mself, seeking
such amusement aa would aort best with

Unless You Buy the New Self-Starting
UDSON "33" You Bo Not Get the Latest
Three years ago the magneto was sold as extra equip
ment on most cars.
Today it is regularly furnished with all first class
automobiles. It is now considered as essential as the
carburetor.
v Next year, or as soon thereafter as the change can be
made, all automobiles will have self-starters. It will
be just as difficult two years hence to tell a second
hand car not equipped with Self-starter and Demount
able rims fi3 it now is to dispose of a car not equipped
with a good magneto.
' What other makers cannot furnish before nextjyear
f you get now in the neu HUDSON "33."
Don't overlook this feature in buying a motor car.
You may want to sell it in two or three years, The
features that all will want then you get now if you choose
the net HUDSON " 33."
And Don't Buy a Make-Shift
The neve HUDSON "33" is a brand-new car the
creation of the foremost engineer in the industry.
Howard E. Coffin is its builder. He worked from the
ground up. His were all original designs. He was not
compelled to utilize old stock. We had nothing that
.had to beud up.
I The bodies were designed for the "33." Every
'unit is as it was originally planned. Therefore the
HUDSON "33" is all new. It is not an old model at
a new prices not an old design with a new name.
And best of all, Howard E. Coffin designed it.
That in itself establishes its worth. The ablest en
gineers and the leading specialists in the businecs
gave their aid to him in its building, for they are his
assistants.
' The automobile world is always on the alert to know
what new short-cut to simplicity Howard E. Coffin
makes. He is the great constructive builder the man
who, more than any other, has brought about the
present high standard of motor cars.
For years he has led. He establishes the trend of
engineering practice as certainly -as Paris makes the
styles and as Edison drives the ''Sew mile-posts of
electrical advancement.
That's the type of car you get in the HUDSON "33" k
with its almost 1000 fewer parts than are used on the
average car with its dust-proof features, the entirely
enclosed motor and its practically noiseless operation
to aay nothing of the car's great beauty the high de
gree of refinement, soft cushions, easy riding qualities
and all the new features not known on any car at its
price one year ago. By examining the new HUDSON
"33" you get an idea of what types of cars will prevail
next year and the year after.
The Ideal Is Possible Now
There is no need to wait to buy the ideal car. Under
any other name than the HUDSON "33" you cannot
get these features earlier than two years.
Many good cars are offered now. Many are the
result of the most painstaking, skilled workmanship -but
they are not so modern. The usual difficulties
experienced in automobiles of three and four years ago
have in a measure been corrected by good workman
ship but the cumbersome design still prevails.
In the HUDSON "33" is combined the skill, exper
ience and ingenuity of Howard E. Coffin and bis corps
of the ablest engineers to be had.
Read Automobile Advertisements
In City Newspapers
The classified advertisements in the Sunday news
papers will give you a true insight into the value at
which second-hand cars are held. There are thousands
of HUDSONS in use. Yet you never see a HUDSON
offered at the low prices at which many other cars
are advertised.
The HUDSON "33" is distinctly advanced. It is
as modern three years after its delivery to the user as
is the then current models of other cars. It has always
been thus.
Isn't it worth while to insure yourself against taking
a big price sacrifice by buying a HUDSON "33"? Do
you think any other automobile is quite so certain to
have a market value when you are ready to sell it in
order to get the then latest HUDSON?
This Big, Handsome. Noiseless, Self-Starting, Fully Equipped Automobile is Howard E. Coffin's Latest Car
the Simplest and Most Advanced Automobile Built, Regardless of Price'

tion mutters in print, according to Mile
Helens Dutrlvu, who ought to know,
since she is both French and an a via- I
tress. Mlxa Mathilde Moiiant, one of
America's two licensed women aviators.
Is French by birth, and she lives In the
air world no mutter whether she is at
her brother's aviation school or In her
home on iUveratde drive. The Mulsaint
family, - having more than the usual
amount of the national French Interest
In aviation Is Imbued with the flying
spirit although it has coat the life or
one member, John B. Mulxant.
"After the terrible Occident that re
sulted In the death of my brother," said
Miss Mutuant the other day while watch
ing the aviator flying in a gusty wind
at Nassau ltoulevard, "I thought that
I could never look at an aemplane attain,
but flying has such a great hold on me
that I returned to my aviation lesson
by the end of three months. I nave
found that the navigation of the air
possesses a peculiar fascination difficult
to resist, and if 1 should keep at it long
enough without considering at all times
the necessary precautions which the op
erator of an aeroplane must forever be
taking I suppose that It would get me
sometime.' aa In the case of my brother,
John. I have always thought that his
accident was due to a cramp in his leg
which caused the removal of hla feet
from the foot control as was the case
In a fall that ha had at lirlghton beach
not long before for It was a cold day
and he waa wrapped up for a flight of
many hours.
she Has o Fear.
"Every time my brother went up I al
most held my breathfor fear that some
thing might happen to him, but with
myself It la entirety different. Never am
I afraid whan preparing to go up t.r
hen experiencing the pleasure of going
through the air. The one who remalis
on the ground Is always the nervous one.
People often ask me, 'Do you get nervous
when you are up In the alrr I can al
ways answer quite truthfully In the nega
tive; the moment I find I am having
nervous spells when operating' an aero
plane that very Instant I am going to
forsake flying.
"I know my limitations," continued
MIhs Molsant, "and 1 am not going to
risk my life by trying to do Junt a little
bit more than I realize that I am able
to neither to please myself nor the pub
lic. The spectators at aviation meets
want stunts, one of the things In flying
moat likely to cause accidents and loss
of lite. An aviator has to know when
not to go up as well as to know how to
fly. and the person who will not let the
hoots and Jeers of a crowd make him
leave the ground hasn't 'cold feet.' lie
has good sense.
Kven an experienced aviator always
has something o learn, and as a begin
ner there are many pointa In flying that
I have not yet picked up. For Instance,
It haa been my fortune that my engine
has never stopped dead on me when fly.
Ing, but that doee not mean 1 am never
to have auch a 111U fortune To be pre- I
pared for It I wish to know how to handle
my aeroplane under auch conditions, and
so Mr. Sopwlth la to take me up soon
and give me a leason on 'How to act
when your engine stops dead.'
Asaerlca la Asleep.
"Thla country la asleep, really ao far
as avlutloa la concerned. Certain
European countries, especially France,
are accomplishing far more in the de
velopment of flying than we are here in
America. Whatever has been lone In
the United Ktatea ha been at th own
personal expense of the aviator. Take,
for Instunce, the Wrights. They spent
thoussnds In perfecting their aeroplanes,
and now the public, and some aviators
for that matter, do not like the Idea ol
the Wright brothers securing the finan
cial benefits to be derived, by lawsuit or
otherwise, through enforcing the rights
of their patents."
Miss Uuiasnt saya that she herself la
interested In aviation for the reason that
more hearty enjoyment Is to be derived
from It than any other sport. She Is
especially enthusiastic over flying fur
women. "I believe," said Mise Mulsant,
"that women before long will be flocking
to learn to fly, and It 1 my opinion that
the capable, senalble woman can do so
without dsnger to herself. Of course,
flying would be Impossible on the part
of u woman with 'nerves' or one who
does not tven have the ability to learu
to drive aa automobile. A woman la
not fitted to fly for many hours, a I
required In certain contests, but not even
a man can get more enjoyment out of a
flight that Is properly, made than she.
"It I not necessary that a woman
must know about every part of the en
gine of an aeroplane, but It is advisable
that she learn how to take care of the
mechanism, JuM as she should with an
automobile. Indeed, I consider that there
Is no more danger In riding In a mono
plane, such as I u.e, than In an auto
mobileprovided that the aviator Is
careful and experienced."

o'clock Monday morning. -
Greeting were exchanged between tha
San Francisco operator In th United
Wireless station at Hlllcrest and tha
Japanese operator In Jol station on tha
Uland of Hokusha, the most northerly

The Sao Francisco operator had' re
